Most reefers I know who've tried them had major ick/disease issues for the first several months. The ones that survive this adjustment to captivity period have a decent chance of long-term survival. I know Doofus caused all sorts of problems for Marie to deal with for the first year or so, but has since been a great fish. It helps that he's the dominant fish and the only tang or ick-magnet in the 175g.
